Barrie Prep: Curriculum and Electives

Whether you’ve been a Barrie student since early childhood or are joining us from another school, you’ll soon realize that the Barrie Prep program is focused on you: as an individual, a thinker, a learner, and as an integral member of Barrie’s collaborative school community.

You’ll find that we have high expectations, which you can achieve. Our rigorous academic program in grades 6-12 provides endless opportunities for you to develop your capacities for independent thinking and creative problem solving, with programs that will tap your curiosity, build your confidence, engage your intellect, and spark your imagination. As you move through our Prep program, you’ll acquire the skills you need to succeed after graduation while building meaningful relationships that will support you in grades 6-12. Though our curriculum is governed by themes, the curriculum is mostly delivered in classes according to academic discipline.
